Ethical Decisions

In this worksheet, students read three Prohibition-era scenarios that involve moral or legal dilemmas and decide what actions should be taken. They justify each choice in 3-4 sentences, requiring them to demonstrate historical reasoning and ethical judgment. Students must consider the context of Prohibition, including public attitudes and legal restrictions, when explaining their decisions. This activity strengthens written communication and encourages students to evaluate complex situations. By defending their reasoning, students practice forming arguments grounded in evidence and historical understanding.
